A Tulsa, Okla., woman who traveled to Louisiana [by bus] to join the Ku Klux Klan...
Well that's just pathetic.
was shot to death by the leader of the group's Bogalusa chapter...
Oh no!
after she tried to back out of initiation rites at a remote, sandbar camp in northeastern St. Tammany Parish, authorities said Tuesday.
What sort of rites are we talking about?
After several rites, including a head-shaving, she was taken to a camp on a sandbar, accessible only by boat... The initiation continued at the campsite, with rituals that consisted mainly of lighting torches and "running around in the woods," [St. Tammany Sheriff Jack] Strain said.
I wonder how they got caught.
[It] was the group's effort to cover up the shooting that eventually put investigators on their trail.
Foster's son, Shane Foster, and Frank Stafford showed up at the Circle K store on Louisiana 21 in Bogalusa early Monday morning and asked the clerk how they could remove bloodstains from their clothes...
You'd think that dudes who run around in the woods wearing white robes would be more knowledgeable about stain removal.
Another one for my dad to chide me about - that we live in a state where this stuff happens...even if I DO point out she came from the state in which he currently resides.
you could tell your dad the the second largest KKK group is in KY that the KKK used to be headquartered in PA, is in AL and there are a handful of neo nazi groups in the upper arm thingy of ID. There are also black panther groups and every major city as well. Bigotry is all around us.
oh and bivalve Look up the remaining Ramone and see what kind of music he is playing these days. I found it surprising.
My husband and I like to play the game, "Whose home state is scarier?" Usually, Georgia wins. But in this case, I think one point should be awarded to Louisiana. (No offense to my adopted state.)
Louisiana sucks in many ways but our majority dysfunctional population is but just one of 50 states where morons participate in organized and disorganized KKK activity. Naturally, our KKK assholes or in the “disorganized category”, that is; completely dysfunctional and can't even do "wrong" right.
They probably just listened to the song "The KKK took my baby away", became disoriented and didn't realize that they could have just burned their favorite pair of overalls instead of being such criminal masterminds and asking how to get the blood out of them...
